Info | The leaves of 'Lakeside Feather Light' remind one of quill pens. Although they would be classified as small, the plant is robust and quickly makes a large clump. The green and white undulating leaves extending from very long petioles add to the light, feathery appearance. Graceful scapes with orchid flowers increase its charm. It is a 1998 introduction. The leaves are ovate with a rounded base. The seeds are viable and the parentage is H. "streaked seedling" x H. "seedling." [MC]. Medium. Large clump of long waving leaves. A lightly ruffled, wide white border reminds me of quills. Vigorous, 1999 introduction. |
